Welcome!
We extend a special welcome to our guests, visitors and all who join us in worship today. Please let us know of your
presence or any prayer requests you have by filling out one of the cards in the pew rack and placing them in the offering
plate. We hope that our church home becomes your church home and the spiritual place where you grow through the
Word of God.
Nursery care for children up to three years old is located on the main floor of the Welcome Center across from the
library. Older children attending the church service are encouraged to borrow a Toddler Tote filled with activities as you enter
the Sanctuary.
Concerning the Sacrament of the Altar
We believe that Jesus offers Himself to us in the Sacrament – His true body and blood, for the forgiveness of sins. We also
share the scriptural concern for those who participate in the Lord’s supper that they recognize what they are receiving
(1 Corinthians 11:27). Therefore, we ask that all who desire to receive the Lord’s Supper please carefully examine
themselves using the com munion information card found in the pew rack.
Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at both services.
For those who desire, we offer gluten-free wafers (please indicate your desire to the Pastor or Elder) and
non-alcoholic wine (located in the rose colored cups in the center of the individual cup tray).
